People sometimes ask, “How do I know when God is speaking to me?” It’s a good question. After all, it’s fairly subjective, isn’t it? If someone says, “God told me…”, how does one refute that?

This message, based on 1 Samuel 3, seeks to offer some touch points for discerning when God is speaking to us. The main points are:

God will never contradict his Word.

God can use both familiar and unfamiliar means to speak to us.

The meaning of what God is saying may not immediately be obvious.

We can more clearly discern when God is speaking to us as our relationship with him grows and develops.

In the message, I share an experience I had recently where God used piped-in music in a store to speak to me – and I haven’t yet discerned what that means. As you listen, maybe you can help me understand!
